Has it been raining much where you are? This summer my little area of the world has had twice as much rain as usual. So I might as well grab my umbrella and enjoy it!

Singing in the Rain is a great song. I sing it a lot. Maybe not every time it rains, but definitely if I am in a happy mood!

Richard Armitage and Gene Kelly have something in common. Their birthdays are one day and 59 years apart. Richard Armitage's is Aug. 22, 1971 and Gene Kelly's is Aug. 23, 1912.

Gene Kelly started his entertainment career as a dancer, as did Richard Armitage.
Kelly's energetic and masculine style helped to revolutionize the movie musicals in the 1940s and 50s. Although Mr. Armitage gave up his dance career to concentrate on acting, his graceful manner of movement is evident in every role he plays.

Although I would dearly love to see Richard Armitage sing and dance, we at least got to see him wet in last summer's tornado moviefest Into the Storm.
